Bulky Weight
Bulky weight is a thick yarn (weight category 5) that works up fast on large hooks and needles. It typically knits to about 3–3.5 stitches per inch and is ideal for quick blankets, chunky hats, cowls, and cozy accessories.
Because each stitch covers more ground, bulky yarn is the fastest way to a finished project — a chunky beanie or cowl can be done in an evening. It's also forgiving for beginners since stitches are big and easy to see.
